Bottle Monster

Rarely will I read reviews and never ever write them. The negative reviews here are way to harsh. As an independent film supporter, you have to realize not all films are back by a film studio. With the small number of crew members and with the incredible list of talent, I'd say this is a very good film. Well written and directed by DeHey in what looks like her first feature. Cheers.

Very interesting story that definitely builds as it goes on to an explosive ending. This film is not for everyone, but I think you'll like it if you like great story telling. A well deserve award-winning film worth your attention.

I feel for Marjorie DeHey here. The script actually works and she's not bad behind the camera but the production value is very low here, even for an indie. We've all seen more done with much less. It's biggest fault is the absolutely dull and lackluster performance from lead actress Billie Proffitt. She's playing a fairly despicable character and there's plenty to flesh out there but her acting is just terrible, it almost feels like a bad joke. Even the performers in small roles far outshine her. Had a real actress been hired I could see this being a 5 or 6 instead of the 3 I generously gave it . Alcoholic parents raising children is a real issue and a serious one as well. Too bad Proffitt wasn't up to the task of being anything except unlikable. Maybe a viewing of Meg Ryan's work in When A Man Loves A Woman would have been a good start. I hope to see more of DeHey as she sharpens her skills and hopefully next time she can find an actor worthy of carrying her work.

While fun is not the word I'd describe this film, it is well done. No CGI was used at all. You can see that The Monster is REAL. Now I rated this film fairly high, it did not have the budget of Avatar (That is for sure), but you can tell it is an independent production. For that I know the hurdles of indie films and this is one that is worth seeing for yourself.

If you are a Horror fan Check it out. If you are a independent film fan, check it out. A real award winning film worth your attention. Don't worry about 'Trolls' in the basement leaving negative remarks on every Indie Film. This film is a fantastic find for any true movie fan. '80s sex symbol Willie Aames is back. Fine acting all around by a well rounded cast. Great Writing and Directing that is designed around this original and thought provoking story.
